On record, the biggest yearly rise was 9.77 percentage points in 2015 and the biggest yearly fall was 12.47 percentage points in 2017. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

What this measures

Claims on other sectors of the domestic economy include gross credit from the financial system to households, nonprofit institutions serving households, nonfinancial corporations, state and local governments, and social security funds. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
